Questions & Answers
How can the labor execution be enforced after finishing all the steps to get paid?
Hello.
I filed a labour case last year against my old employer; I'm still on their visa which expires next month.
The amount I was claiming for was AED 190,000 which is 3 months salary along with another 3 months that I am entitled to for delay, plus flight ticket... etc.
I won the judgment for AED 100,000 plus 9% interest on this amount (unclear from the date of filing the case - or the date of the judgment given).
In any case, the amount is over AED 160,000 min today. I have also filed for execution and we have now also requested a travel ban - arresting them - freezing all bank assets... etc.
I'm still waiting to get paid. We have informed the old employer and they stall by saying they will speak to their lawyer or they will contact me.
Nothing of the sort will be done as they are just delaying and I don't know what they are playing at.
When will I get the funds and how much longer will this take?
Dear Questioner,
Unfortunately, there is no specific time frame for the execution to complete and to get the judgment amount.
As far as I understand from your brief, you are on the right track. The only thing you should do now is follow up on the matter patiently.
Further, once your visa expires, please get another visa to avoid any immigration fines.
Finally please note that the interest is calculated from the date of filing to the date of judgment.
